Studio la Città opens in Verona the exhibition Wind is in no rush. Featuring works by Federico Borroni, Filippo Rizzonelli, Runo B, Diego Soldà, and Arthur Duff. Arthur Duff appears in the dual role of artist and curator, alongside Luca Massimo Barbero.

Wind is in no rush is the title chosen by Arthur Duff for this exhibition. He explains:

The wind is speed, transformation—without origin. It doesn’t exist as substance, but as event. A presence without form, made visible only through what it touches, what it moves. We know the wind not by seeing it, but by sensing its effect—its connection to what is alive. Artists, too, are moved by this unseen current. We share the same wind. It disorients, propels, and points us somewhere uncertain. You never quite know if you’re heading the right way—or if direction matters at all. That’s where art lives: in the in-between. Not here, not there, but somewhere marginal. That in-betweenness is necessary—it holds things just out of reach, keeping them unsettled, in motion. How do you protect the wind—this ever-changing, massless thing? Perhaps only by becoming like it: elusive, unknowable, unfamiliar even to yourself. To be like wind is to remain in process, unpinned, open.

This is not the first time Hélène de Franchis has invited an artist to curate an exhibition involving fellow artists, and with great satisfaction she explains why:

“Once again, the outcome is highly engaging, offering a coherent and harmonious vision—animated by that shared wind you immediately sense as you move through the show. The references are many, the techniques varied, and each individual work is part of a whole that nevertheless feels consistent, pushing forward into a kind of anticipation that crosses through us and keeps us suspended—just like the wind.”

Wind is in no rush is also the title of a parallel exhibition curated by Arthur Duff and Antonio Verolino, with a text by Lucio Pozzi. Currently on view until June 29 at Antonio Verolino’s gallery in Modena, it features works by Arthur Duff, Lucio Pozzi, Federico Borroni, Luca Marignoni, and Bruno Fantelli.

This shared curatorial format reflects a joint decision by both galleries to present the work of artists who are particularly close-knit and united by the same “vortex” of expression and collaboration.
